Plant history & use:
Ashwagandha is an ancient medicinal plant that has been used for thousands of years, mainly for physical and mental fatigue. Ashwagandha’s balancing properties are believed to even out any imbalances in the body, among other things by lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisol.
The root also has anti-inflammatory properties and is considered calming for the nervous system.
Reported effects from using Ashwagandha include improved mental ability in terms of memory and concentration as well as higher energy levels.
Ashwagandha is also used in training supplements for increased muscle growth.
Cultivation:
Ashwagandha can be grown in a bright window or under artificial light.
This is a plant that thrives in dry climates and therefore has no trouble living as a houseplant in Sweden. However, the plant can advantageously be placed outside in summer to receive extra sunlight.
As the plant grows larger, it is beneficial to provide ample space for the roots, as root growth is primarily what is sought when cultivating Ashwagandha.
Once the plant has grown, it is good to let the soil dry out between waterings as this prevents oxygen deficiency in the roots and further promotes increased root growth. Ashwagandha is very drought-resistant once established.
Sowing:
Sow and let grow in well-drained soil. Cover the seeds with a 1 cm layer of soil or perlite. Keep the soil moist during the seedling stage.
Characteristics:
Lifespan: Perennial
Light: sun/partial shade
Height: 75 cm
Germination time: 1-3 weeks
